SINK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 412,195, dated October 1, 1889.

Application filed June 26,1889. Serial No. 315,604. (No model.)

To @ZZ whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, STEPHEN A. MARKER,

a citizen of the United States, residing at Newark, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sinks; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full., clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawxo ings, making a part of this speoiiication, and to the letters 'of reference marked thereon.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in sinks g and ithas for its obj ect to provide for the removal of the refuse which shall accumulate therein Without soiling the hands.

The invention consists in the peeuliarcombinations and the construction, arrangement, and adaptation of parts, all as more fully hereinafter described, shown in the drawings, and then particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings, which, with the letters of reference marked thereon, form a part of this specification, and in Which- Figure 1 is a vertical section through a portion of a sink provided With my improve-` ments. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the removable strainer det-ached.

Referring new to the details of the draw- 'ings by letter, A designates a portion of-a Sink of any suitable materia-l and size and shape. It is formed with a downwardlyextending portion n, which at its upper end has an annular shoulder h, on which is designed to rest the upper or removable strainer B. This strainer is formedfwith an annular rim or flange c, which rests on the shoulder on the portion a of the sink, and is formed with a concave bottom and sloping sides, said bottom and sides being provided with a plurality 'of perforations ci, for the purpose of allowing the liquid to pass through, While the refuse is retain ed in said strainer.

C is a bail by which said strainer may be readily removed when necessary. This bail is formed with ends e, designed to enter any of the perforations in the strainer, (see Fig. 2,) and is made of springy material, so that its position may be readily changed to best suit it to the. location of the strainer, Where it will he most convenient. This bail when not in use is adapted to be folded or turned down Within the strainer out of the Way, as 5 5 shown in Fig. 2.

D is a strainer seated in a recess f in the portion o of the sink and retained therein preferably by means of the bolts gand nuts 72, which serve also to sec-ure to said extension 6o the Waste-pipe by means Well known and such as shown in Fig. l. These bolts pass through chambers 1T, so as to be protected from the Water in the sink as it passes to the Waste-pipe.

Instead of forming the portion oY integral With the bottom of the sink it maybe formed separate and attached thereto in any suitable manner, as shown in Fig. 1 by dotted lines.

It will be seen that by the above construction there are tivo strainers employed, so that when the upper one is removed for the purpose of removing therefrom the refuseA the lower strainer Will be in place to catch 7 5' any refuse that might flow from the sink, and thus the Waste-pipe is prevented from being stopped up.

By arranging the removable strainer in the position shown-that is, out of the Waste- 8o pipe-the size of the strainer is not restricted to the size of the Waste-pipe, as is the case Where the strainer has been located Within the upper end of the Waste-pipe.

By perforating the upper strainer on the S5 sides as Well as the bottom the liquid matter Will run out through the perforations until the strainer becomes f ull, whereas where the holes are in the bottom only the refuse covers the holes and the strainer will remain par- 9o tially full of Water.

What I claim as new is l. The combination, with the downwardlyextending port-ion a, having an annular sho ulder h, of the removable strainer B, having 95 perforati'ons in its sides and bottom, and the bail C, formed of springy material, provided with oppositely-extending lateral arms e, designed to engage side perforations in the strainer and to be sprung into place therein Ioo and to fold Within the strainer, substantially strainer and through said chamber and as described'. provided with suitable nuts,substantially as 2. The combination,wth the downwardlyand for the purpose specified. extending portion a, formed with annular In testimony that I claim the above I have 15 5 depressions f and b and chamber t', of the hereunto subscribed mynarne in the presence removable strainer B, having an annular of two witnesses. flange o resting in the depression b, and the stranerD, seated in the depression fin the STEPHEN A' MARKER' said portion a below the strainer B and rest- Witnesses: 1o ing on the inner wall of the chamber e', and ATWOOD L.
